Stages of Development of young children

Young children trust the world completely and absorb each and every impression with great openness. The responsibility of adults is to understand children's developmental needs - physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual - and establish a healthy foundation for the rest of life. 

Parents today are flooded with a myriad choices in raising children, complete with scientific studies to support each alternative. We need time, courage and patience to thoughtfully consider each of these choices, especially in our children's formative years.
